Again CTV News is using it's media platform to try to paint Stephen Harper in the best possible light. Christ, their headline is absurd!

Of course, Harpo (no matter how little integrity he may actually have) cannot, and will not, support the levying of fees on Canadians traveling to the US. After all, that would be akin to him coming out in "favour" of an unnecessary purchase of an over-priced new and unproven fighter jet! Wouldn't it?

A freaking no-brainer this story is not news! Only a moron PM would "favour" it! The real CTV headline should have read: "Harpo can only manage to opine that the US proposed fee on Canadian travelers is not 'useful'!"

True while many of Dion's wounds were either self inflicted or caused by the Rae and Ignatieff camps, the incident that I was alluding to was when CTV aired his flubbing of a question and asking for a do-over. It is common practice to sometimes to do another take of a question and answer in order to produce the best possible show, what isn't common practice however is the airing of the outtakes.

I'm with you on that Brian, in fact I would like to see it at 50 dollars and applied at land crossings as well. Anything to discourage the economic traitors that are more willing to support the US economy than they are their own by engaging in cross border shopping.

If they think that they are making a point about price disparity, they are not as they are enriching the very same corporations no matter which side of the border they shop on.
